The SAT was easy. Now kids are mad? Here's what has them steaming

If you're a New Jersey student who took the SAT test in June, there's a good chance you answered lot of questions correctly.

The bad news? So did everyone else.

It fact, so many students performed so well that the test was graded on a steep curve. And now, students across the country who thought they aced the SAT are furiously asking for an adjustment to their frustratingly low scores.

When I realize I have to take yet another SAT, review once again, and show up bright & early at a new test location (b/c literally everywhere is full btw) even though none of this was our fault. No one should have to go through this again cuz of the collegeboard #rescoreJuneSATpic.twitter.com/304J2VZAXy

The College Board, which oversees the exam, says it has a good explanation, though.

The lower scores are because of a process called "equating," a curve designed to make sure a score for a test taken on one date is equivalent to a score from another date, according to a College Board statement.

"While we plan for consistency across administrations, on occasion there are some tests that can be easier or more difficult than usual," the College Board explained. "A single incorrect answer on one administration could equal two or three incorrect answers on a more difficult version."

In other words, without the curve, kids who who took a harder version of the SAT would unfairly get a lower score than the kids who took the easier version.

But students like Kevin Doran aren't buying it.

The 17-year-old from Denville took SAT prep courses and studied hard to improve his score from March. He answered about 20 more questions correctly on the SAT in June and figured his score would soar, he said.

Instead, his score dropped by 30 points, he said.

"I was really disappointed and really surprised," he said. "The scoring seems inaccurate, unfair and does not reflect my skill level."

His mother, Kathy, took to Twitter to rip the College Board.

Despite the calls for a rescore, the College Board said the results of the June SAT are accurate. Even if it were to rescore the exams, students' scores would still be the same.

"The equating process ensures fairness for all students," the College Board said in a statement.
